Window mastic in Kemsley Street, done properly
Every window and door frame has a gap around it, and mastic is what closes it. Once that seal fails, wind and rain find the gap. Our applicators cut it out and replace it with a flexible, weatherproof sealant. If you have hard, cracked sealant around windows and gaps left after new windows were fitted, we can help, on timber windows & doors, aluminium frames and uPVC windows alike.
In a village or hamlet like Kemsley Street, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

What we do, step by step
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The work itself takes anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are, including the tidy-up. For a village or hamlet like Kemsley Street, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- Each frame is looked over and we agree which ones need resealing.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame edge and wall.
- Deep gaps get closed-cell backing rod to set the depth.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- We tool each bead neatly and check every joint is closed.
Preparing for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
- Keep paint off silicone joints
- Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
- Wipe condensation off the frames
Timber frames need their paint kept up, since wood that gets wet swells and shrinks more. Keep paint off the silicone itself.
A small gap around a frame only grows. As old mastic keeps shrinking, the gap widens, and a cold room gets colder. Resealing closes it.
Surface by surface
Patio & French doors
Heavy door frames can move more than windows. A flexible sealant copes with that.
uPVC windows
Fitters’ mastic on plastic frames is sometimes thin and rushed. We cut it out, back any deep gaps and reseal properly.
Window mastic in Kemsley Street: local notes
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Homes close to Church of St Peter include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in. Schools such as Deanwood Primary School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

How we quote for window mastic
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The number of rooms or windows
- Any mould that needs treating
- The product the joint needs
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- The problem you’ve noticed
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand, and we’ll come back to you with a quote.
What we’re called out for in Kemsley Street
A lot of older mastic was never designed to stay flexible. Once it’s rigid, every bit of frame movement pulls at it, and a gap opens along one edge.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
- Hard, cracked sealant around windows
- Cold air getting in at the frame edge
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
Rented homes near Rainham (Kent) station change hands often, and renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.
